Ah! I see.
So you do have a charger, in that case, even the charger output is enough to cutoff the battery when a predetermined voltage level is reached.
All you need is a comparator and relay with enough contact rating.
The comparator can monitor the battery current or voltage and cutoff the battery via the relay.

Hey Sgt.
You guys don't say anything twice the same way. Do you? :confused:
What I mean is in a previous post some one replied that LSA should be charged initially at 1/5th of the AH capacity, now it is 1/8th, so which one is it.
A 200 AH battery needs 40A initially, if it is 1/5th.
but at 1/8th it is 25A.
This Initial charge current of a SLA should be the same for everyone I think.

That is exactly what I want to do but am blunt when it comes to using comparators, so what comparator circuitry would monitor a battery voltage (12v and above) and cut of at a preset voltage leaving the battery to float-charge?
